I have been looking at Round EGL certified stones around 1.50 carats SI1 and SI2 I am trying to find out the fair market price of them based on a discount to the Rapp report (e.g., 20% off Rapp list price or 40%)
The jeweler showed me a 1.50 already set F SI2 w/EGL he said he had the stone for a couple years and would sell it to me for 7,200 (with setting) he showed me the Rapp report and told me he would give me 45% off. I was not a big fan of the stone I thought it should have more fire than it did and I was worried the setting might be hiding something. However, the inclusions where not visible to the naked eye
The jeweler is a good guy I have done a lot of homework and he respects the fact that I can go anywhere but will do business with him if he gives me a good price. I am trying to determine a reasonable price to offer on other stones he has coming in to show me. Is 45% off Rapp what I should expect on every stone he shows me?
Thanks for the help
